Does the class NSFileHandle implements endianness checks or is it
the responsibility of the programmer? I am using its method -
(NSData *)readDataOfLength:(NSUInteger)length
I want to read binary data from files and i want it to be same every
time in my application (no endianness issues) whether it is an
Intel based Mac or PPC based Mac. If NSFileHandle does not implement
these checks itself, then please suggest some other Cocoa method
that does it automatically.
It's your responsibility. It's not possible to hide endian issues for
an arbitrary binary file, because there is no way to know what its
contents represent.
